12-Fiber LGX Adapter Panel, 6 Duplex LC Multimode OM3/OM4 10G, Flanged (FAP-MM-LCG-6DF)

This is a 12-fiber LGX adapter panel loaded with six duplex LC multimode adapters for 10 Gigabit OM3 and OM4. It's a cold-rolled steel plate, 130 by 30 mm, which is the single-width LGX footprint, with the six couplers mounted vertically through it on their plastic flanges. Each adapter has phosphor bronze alignment sleeves and the aqua housing that marks laser-optimized 50/125 µm multimode, and the LC connectors on the pigtails plug into the back while the patch cords plug into the front, so one plate turns a spliced 12-fiber OM3 or OM4 cable into 12 LC ports for 10GBASE-SR. It drops into any LGX slot: the RMFP rack-mount splice-and-patch panels, the RMFP-001 patch-only panel, and any other LGX enclosure. It's sold individually. For the single-mode version, the FAP-SM-LCU-6DF; for the 12-fiber LC pigtails that plug into the back, the PGULC12-OM3, PGULC12-OM4, PGTLC12-OM3, and PGTLC12-OM4; for the cords on the front, the LCLCOM3 and LCLCOM4; for the enclosures, the RMFP-015, RMFP-016, RMFP-018, and RMFP-001.

Features

• Six duplex LC adapters, 12 fibers. Multimode OM3 and OM4, 50/125 µm, aqua housings, phosphor bronze alignment sleeves, PC polish.
• 10 Gigabit. For 10GBASE-SR and other laser-optimized multimode links.
• LGX footprint. 130 × 30 mm single-width plate; fits standard LGX panels and enclosures.
• Cold-rolled steel.
• Vertical couplers on flanges. Each adapter is held through the plate on its own plastic flanges with metal clips.
• Sold individually.

Where It Fits

It suits a data center or a data hall where OM3 or OM4 trunks run 10 Gigabit between rows and land in a rack-mount LGX panel on LC. It suits a building backbone in a telecom room, where a 12-fiber multimode cable is spliced to LC pigtails in the tray behind and comes out as 12 aqua LC ports on the front. Installers filling the LGX slots in an RMFP panel a cable at a time use it, and so do techs replacing a beige OM1 plate with an aqua one as the plant moves to OM3. A wall-mount box with an LGX cutout is a candidate. It goes with the OM3 and OM4 bulk fiber, the multimode LC pigtails, the splice trays, and the OM3 and OM4 LC patch cords from the fiber collections, and with the LGX enclosures from the fiber panel collection. For a 1U splice-and-patch panel, the RMFP-015. For 2U, the RMFP-016, and for 4U, the RMFP-018. For a patch-only 1U, the RMFP-001. For single-mode, the FAP-SM-LCU-6DF. For the pigtails, the PGULC12-OM3, PGULC12-OM4, PGTLC12-OM3, and PGTLC12-OM4. For the cords, the LCLCOM3 and LCLCOM4.

Good to Know

Match the fiber on both sides: this is an aqua 50/125 µm panel, and the adapters will happily mate an orange 62.5 µm OM1 cord to an OM3 pigtail, with the core mismatch loss landing at the panel; keep the pigtails, the panel, and the cords all OM3 or OM4, and the aqua color is the cue. The sleeves are phosphor bronze, which is the usual multimode sleeve; for single-mode the FAP-SM-LCU-6DF with its ceramic sleeves is the right plate. The panel doesn't set the reach, the fiber does: OM3 carries 10GBASE-SR to 300 meters and OM4 to 400 meters, and the panel adds a mated pair to the link, which the loss budget has to carry. Check the LGX slot before you order: 130 by 30 mm is the standard single-width cutout, and this plate is the same footprint as the Corning CCH-CP12-E4, so it fits enclosures built to that pattern; a double-width slot takes two of these or a blank filler beside one. The adapters are vertical, which packs 12 ports into one slot, so the duplex cords stand up and down and the panel's cable management has to clear them. Plug the pigtails into the back before you mount the plate, since there's more room with the plate in your hand, and keep every adapter's dust caps in until a cord goes in. Keep the A and B fibers of each duplex pair in the right positions on the back so the front polarity comes out as the as-built says. Clean and inspect every connector before it goes into an adapter, and label the plate's ports by fiber number so the tray and the panel agree.
